Curry leaves are aromatic, nutrient-rich leaves used in cooking, offering vitamins, antioxidants, and digestive benefits in curries and soups.
Curry leaves (Murraya koenigii) are aromatic, dark green leaves commonly used in Indian and South Asian cuisines. Known for their distinct, slightly bitter flavor, they add depth and fragrance to curries, soups, and rice dishes. Rich in vitamins A, C, and E, curry leaves also contain antioxidants, calcium, and iron, offering various health benefits, including boosting immunity, supporting digestion, and improving skin health. They are often used fresh or dried, and while they are typically removed from dishes before serving, their flavor is infused during cooking. Curry leaves are also valued for their medicinal properties in traditional remedies.
